Update on Cases

 

Update on yesterday’s case count:  Due to a technical error, we will be removing one of the confirmed cases from yesterday as they were put on our list twice.  That has been fixed.  So, yesterday’s new cases should have been 22.  We apologize for the error. 

 

Today’s Cases:  19 new cases and 12 were released.  This puts our active cases at 109 with 7 still in the hospital and 102 at home in isolation.  None of our new cases are hospitalized.  We have 1 grade school child, 4 in their 20s, 2 in their 30s, 6 in their 40s, 3 in their 50s, 1 in their 60s, 1 in their 70s and 1 in their 80s.  2 of the cases are connected by households.
